No, the father of the bride has no obligation to give his daughter anything on her wedding day as he is paying for most of the wedding which can be very expensive. However, some fathers may give some extra money to their daughter depending on the father and it is the mother that may give a piece of jewelry that either belonged to her or her mother.
Unless the mother and daughter are estranged then yes, the mother of the bride goes to the wedding. Mothers and fathers generally want to see their daughter married.

The mother of the bride is suppose to proudly represent her daughter on her special wedding day. It should never be a problem for the mother of the bride to buy a dress suited for the wedding.

A good salsa song for a mother-daughter wedding dance could be "Vivir Mi Vida" by Marc Anthony. It has a lively and celebratory beat that's fitting for a joyful dance between a mother and daughter on a special occasion.
It is not written in stone that a mother has to give her daughter a personal gift, but some mothers may have a lovely piece of jewelry that they have had or the piece was given to the mother by her mother and she may want to pass it onto her daughter.

You can remember a deceased parent in the wedding by putting their name in the program. You could also remember the parent when doing the father/daughter or son/mother dance.
IF the daughter signed some type of contract or agreement stating she was responsible for the mother's bills, perhaps. If the daughter was named Executrix of the mother's will, yes it would be appropriate. If she was not, she should tell the lender she has no obligation to pay the debts of the mother's estate and to contact the Executor of her mother's will (or the Probate Court if she died intestate).
